Current Time in Jakarta

About time in Jakarta

Jakarta operates on Western Indonesian Time, known locally as WIB, holding a steady UTC+7. Indonesia is split across three time zones, and Jakarta sits in the westernmost one alongside much of Java and Sumatra. None of the country's zones use daylight saving, so the capital keeps the same offset every day of the year. Home to around 11 million people in the city proper and far more across its greater region, Jakarta shares its UTC+7 time with Bangkok and Hanoi.

Jakarta does not make seasonal clock changes under its current rules. Its offset is UTC+7 (no DST). The live clock above reads Jakarta's local time directly from the IANA time zone database in your browser, using the rules installed on your device.

Daylight in Jakarta through 2026

Jakarta sits at about 6.2°S, 106.8°E. The longest day of 2026 is January 1, with 12h 29m between sunrise and sunset. The shortest is June 6, with 11h 46m, a difference of 43 min. Jakarta lies close to the equator, so its day length barely changes through the year and sunrise stays near the same hour in every season.

Because Jakarta is in the Southern Hemisphere, its long days fall in December and January and its short days in June. The earliest sunrise comes around November 4 (05:25) and the latest sunset around January 27 (18:17).

Solar noon, when the sun is highest, falls at about 11:59 local time in late March, 11:54 in late June and 11:50 in late December. In standard time the sun is highest at about 11:53 on average, close to 12:00, so the clock and the sun are well aligned in Jakarta.
